Review

On the surface a peculiar and charming tale about a lost middle-aged man, suffering from amnesia after an accident, who has to try and find his way back into society. Kaurismäki shoots his film with a colourful nostalgic lense, paying tribute to the technicolor movies of the 50s and to the simple things in life, centered around our need for fitting in. The film is thoroughly subdued both in style and tone, and Kaurismäki's stylized visuals and narrative makes the film charming, but also somewhat reticent.
